Basically, I'm just trying to get more info on the tune... I like the OTTP order form better, it gives more provisions for listing my mods than ZZP does... Seems like that would produce a more accurate tune in my opinion... I will email and text(again) in the morning and see if Josh replies... I'm still debating the smaller pulley, due to expected heat issues and snout clearance... I may or may not go 2.7, it's a tough decision...

Some people get nervous/cold feet when they perceive they MIGHT be selling things to people who know more about the items and their integration than they do. Sounds like he knows goalie and is comfortable-ish with him but prob knew the hydro shield question was a handoff from you, bones.

Josh would rather pass on a sale to you than take the chance of selling $$ of mods to someone who MIGHT know more about them, then turn the tables and flip out on him if it doesn't work EXACTLY as advertised.


Dammit bones, you're so intimidating!

I don't know a thing about Josh, but I have learned a few things about human nature during my extra time here on the surface of the planet (w/r/t you two dudes)

I'm sure he doesn't want to commit to the hydro shield working b/c ultimately it's not a 100.0% solution -- a vast improvement -- but he doesn't want the blowback from you.

My 1.5 cent (with deflation and all)

I didn't mean to come off as intimidating, my bad... I am still wanting to buy a PCM from them, if they will sell... I will know tomorrow...

And yes I know the hydro-shield isn't a 100% solution to the rain soaked intake, but it's better than placing the filter element between the trans and the radiator to avoid water(only space available that's dry)... That, and the tube itself playing havoc with my MAF readings are really slowing the car down... The only bonus is that the supercharger whine is louder with this intake than it was with the ZZP intake...

I guess I wasn't clear enough with my sarcasm... It'll suck if he's scared to sell me parts, but I don't feel bad about any potential intimidation I unintentionally give off... I feel that his tune will be more accurate than ZZP's tune because he requests more info, like pulley size and exhaust setup and whatnot...

Default Lots of progress today...

I got my e-brake fixed(no cable needed), it literally just needed the clip re-connected, and finished my UltraGauge mount, and got it professionally detailed...

And she's very photogenic, the outside looks worse in person
